The taxation is on the person living in that state. Most states require that a person buys something and doesn't pay sales tax, they are supposed to self-report and pay the tax. (Most people don't).
>The taxation is on the person living in that state.
Right, and before this decision, it was that person's responsibility to remit. Now it is the business's. So the burden of remittance has shifted to the disenfranchised party.
Not really disenfranchised. You don't have to sell to someone in another state if you don't want to.
The laws of various states place many restrictions and requirements on businesses who want to sell to their citizens. This is just another one of those.
>The party paying the tax votes on representation.
Technically the business is "the party paying the tax", in the sense that they are the party sending money to the government. If I drop ten dollars on the counter and sprint out of a store carrying an item that costs ten dollars plus tax, the store is still responsible for paying tax on that item to the government.
